For me to answer your question, you need to clarify some things. If by "their" you mean Boxtorrent's stuff, then they are probably still running on mIRC right now, yes. If by "their" you mean ADV's stuff on Boxtorrent's IRC server, then odds are that it will be taken off their bots to avoid a lawsuit. If you mean ADV's stuff on mIRC in general, then yes, you will almost always be able to find copyrighted material on mIRC, you just have to know where to look.

Heh..I think you could call that an advantage of the internet. No matter what you#re looking for, you can be sure to find it online, you just have to know the right places to look. Let's see how Boxtorrents handles the new non ADV product strategy.

I don't think that it's that much of an advantage. If I can do an irc search and pull up every channel that has an ADV title then so can ADV. If I can do a search and pull up the fansub downloading sites, then so can ADV. I think that in part it boils down to how much the American distribution companies and their Japanese partners are willing to tolerate fansubs. If it's not in their best interest, then they react.
